If the obligor's driver's license or other professional license has been suspended and the obligor has a job, and support and arrears are being paid by wage assignment, CSS will authorize the release of the license. Contact the SLMS hotline and provide the CSS case number and the obligor's license number. A letter will be faxed to the DMV or other licensing agency within 24 hours authorizing the release of the license. A release form will also be sent to your office. The obligor will need to take this release form to the DMV or other agency and pay a handling fee to have the license reissued.
If the obligor is employed but is not paying via a wage assignment, the SLMS hotline can authorize the release of the license. Contact the SLMS hotline and give them the obligor's employment information. As soon as this information is verified and the employer verifies that a wage assignment will be honored, the release will issue and a wage assignment will be sent to the employer.
If the obligor is unemployed and has a job offer contingent upon having a license, the obligor must bring CSS a letter from the employer indicating that the obligor will be hired when the license is released and that the employer will honor a wage assignment.
If the obligor is not employed, or he is self employed, he must come into CSS and meet with a Special Projects Officer, who will attempt to workout a payment plan with him or her. The license will be released contingent upon compliance with the plan.
